Just one privileged retreat overlooks the eighteenth green of California’s Torrey Pines Golf Course: San Diego’s only AAA five-diamond property, The Lodge at Torrey Pines
With its arts and crafts design featuring natural materials and sheltering forms, the resort seems as one with the La Jolla community’s coastal scenery of pines and Pacific Ocean views. The 170 guest rooms and suites exude warmth and elegance with leather chaises,
Tiffany-style lamps, granite-topped bars, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. In-room high-speed Internet access and safes large enough for laptops, plus group space totaling more than 13,000 square feet, make business travel a pleasure.
The resort honors its Golden State home with dining at A.R. Valentien, named for an early twentieth- century California artist whose landscape paintings line the walls and complement a menu of fresh, imaginative cuisine and premier California wines. Some of the state’s best scenic and recreational diversions wait right outside the door. Guests tee off at the Torrey Pines Golf Course, site of the 2008 U.S. Open championship.
Just minutes away, they can hike the pristine coastal trails of the adjacent Torrey Pines State Reserve, take in the many cultural attractions of San Diego, and shop in exclusive La Jolla and Del Mar.
The resort’s chauffeured Mercedes- Benz sedans even provide complimentary local transportation.
But for lovers of West Coast nature at its finest, views of the resort’s coastal surroundings promise the most satisfying diversion of all.
